-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Rarely has an animal birth been more hotly anticipated but the equine answer to the Royal Baby has taken its first tentative steps at the home of racing , Newmarket in eastern England .

On Sunday , Song produced the first filly to the superstar stallion Frankel at the National Stud , and despite it being just a few days old , the expectation on it to succeed on the racecourse is already huge .

An anticipated 130 foals will be born to Frankel in 2014 , none of which will race for two years but with the potential for some sporting sibling rivalry come 2016 at the earliest .

Song is owned by Khalid Abdul Rahim , of Bahrain , who paid $ 1.3 million for the mare when she was already in foal to Frankel .

Director of The National Stud Brian O'Rourke described the new offspring as `` a very nice quality , athletic individual , '' adding that both `` mare and foal are doing well . ''

There is even footage online of the foal taking some of its first steps in Newmarket . Mother and foal will stay together for at least five months .

Frankel earned owner Prince Khalid Abdullah , a Saudi prince , more than $ 4m in prize money during an illustrious racing career , which included a record nine consecutive Group 1 wins and ended with victory in the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October last year .

However , Frankel , who went to work in his new role at stud in February last year , is now earning his owners infinitely more with a whopping fee of $ 160,000 for every mare sired and hence earnings of nearly four times his career winnings this year alone .

The offspring of 2001 Epsom Derby winner Galileo , Frankel boasts an impressive pedigree , but predicting how Frankel foals may fare is by no means an exact science .

Despite the sums paid for the mares and foals in question , she could well prove a flop .

Despite that there are high hopes for the filly and Frankel 's first foal , a colt , born just a few days earlier at Coolmore Stud in Ireland to a mare called Chrysanthemum . That colt is valued at Â # 6m and has been quoted as a 100-1 shot to win the 2017 Derby .

As for the filly foal in Newmarket , she remains unnamed with suggestions for a possible moniker to the offspring of Frankel and Song , currently including Sinatra or My Way .
